Beaune 1er cru by Morot

Three different Burgundies from Beaune taste3d in one go. All by Albert Morot. Two being the same premier cru but different vintages and then two the same year but two different premier crus.



Beaune 1 er cru Cent Vignes 2007
Medium red colour. Lots of red berries with some chocolate on the nose. A bit earthy and slight sweet nose.
Great balanse and fruit but perhaps a bit thin towards the end in the aftertaste indicating that age has taken it's toll.

Beaune 1 er cru Cent Vignes 2009
More dark fruit, chocolate and perfume of flowers, spice and cherries. Big solid taste with smooth and firm tannins. A bit of cherrystones which indicate that it requires more time. A truly lovely wine and vintage , but be patient.


Beaune 1 er cru Les Toussaints 2009
So this is the plot just beside Cent Vignes and also the same year and same producer. Much more heavy components on the nose and aromas towards figue, plum, vanilla and dark fruit. Much bigger taste and more masculin in style with more structure. More rustic wine with a great balance and lots of tannins.

Bordeaux- Le prelat du Ch. Pape Clement 2004

This is one of two second wines of the famous and expensive Ch. Pape Clement in Graves. Although young,  2004, this wine drinks really well already if you put it on carafe a couple of hours before consumption. Dark red colour, with a very attractive smell of blueberries and dark berries, its a full bodied wine with firm but nice tannins that goes best with some food. 2004 although not the best of vintages, keep surprising me with good drinkable wines at affordable prices, because from 2005 and onwards there is a big step up in prices.... Grapes; Cabernet Sauvignon 60% and Merlot 40% Price around 20€ P+

Ogier Chateauneuf du Pape 2010

This is a quite reasonable Chateauneuf du Pape (ca 200 NOK or 15€). The colour is medium ruby color which was a bit surprising. Nose of ripe black cherries and liquerice with a medium + body and finish with firm tannins. The wine can be drunk now but has definitely the potential for ageing (5-10 years). Chateauneuf du Pape 2010, Ogier Bring out the steak!
